enlarged tonsils;
countless goosebumps;
stiff back;
muscle aches;
bland saliva.

the extremes of a slight fever.
bahhh-
=(

Friday, 27 July 2007
i've been down with sore eyes the past 2 days.
it kind of gone now.
left a sty on my right eye.
feels extremely uncomfortable.
and the cartilage on both sides of my ear are swollen.
really.
xD

just a little while more.
just a while more would do.
after that-
i'll forget all about it.
really.
though i havent really lived up to such promises.
but i know i'll try.
just a little longer.
hahas.
a little longer of such stupidness and i'll continue.
=)


certain issues revolve around me.
and i've been hurt quite a lot.
though i'm not sure if it still harms me.
or distracts me.
lols.
just feel it when i happen to approach it with my conscious mind.
its no use hiding.
but it works.
in some way.

i feel distant anyway.
and thats how i've been like-
from everything else.
except my mr bean bear and ebi.
nobody else seems to have time to hear me.
hahas.
everyone's busy.
and i'm slacking.
really, slacking, Full-time.

nah.
im not emo-ing.


i've completed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
brilliant book.
brilliant ending.
brilliant author.
it is quite a feat.
-with terribly minute eyes and blur vision-
completing this book.
and i guess its wonderful.
don't kill the main characters?
make them grow old and start a family.
lols.
he is now- the MAN who lived.
BRILLIANT!

Monday, 23 July 2007
im counting was just counting down the days to my most awaited birthday of the year.
then i realised it was stuck in between the o levels.
and the very next day was a PHYSICS paper.
yuck-
so much for a birthday.
xD

nahh-
im blasted.
i need to catch sleep.
formula one and harry potters dont go together.
=D

i need caffeine.
I NEED COFFEE.

Sunday, 22 July 2007
SPOILER ALERT;
=)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix:
(well. im not sure if this spoiler will be successful since many have watched it already, but anyway, )

its fabulous.
so the rumours were-
not true.
and the rating was.
well deserved!
hahas.
they did not alter the storyline.
in fact,
they stuck tight to it.
xD
this could be,
the best summary of the whole book.
they kept out the details.
giving only the gists of many events and elaborating on certain scenes.
the graphics are still fantastic.
the bg sounds are heart moving.
and the flow was just right.
no sudden changes that are too difficult to follow.
perhaps they've improved since the last movie.
=D
probably the best yet.
the new add-ons:
like bellatrix lestrange, luna lovegood and dolores umbridge:
just adds more spice into the storyline.
a tastful movie for all hp fans out there.
=)
this movie contains the most number of spells performed by all the actors and actresses already.
the aveda kedavra was just, BRILLIANT.
exactly the way it works all the time.
a sure killer.
xD
spells are just so intriguing.

overall,
i would say,
watch it: only after you've read the book.
be lazy and you'll find the movie hard to understand.
read it, and you find the movie just right.
all the scenes you would ever want to see from the book will be displayed to you in millions of colours.
=D
don't give it low ratings just because you can't relate it to every other movie.

Friday, 20 July 2007
i think. i think a lot.
ya.
i think i think a lot.
i really mean. a lot.
because any little thing that happens,
will trigger a series of thoughts and possible events that may take place soon after-
in my brain.
=)
i guess i figure too much.
lols.
just plain worrying.
it kinds of adds some spice to this mundane life, doesn't it?
hahahs.
xD

but theres this big thing going on.
5000- FIVE THOUSAND
secondary school students have submitted their applications in the DPA exercise.
well.
it means. only 10% of this sum of people will be offered a position.
Polytechnics will select students solely based on their talents.
i'm not sure if they might consider academic results.
..
i curse those geniuses who try to deprive other ordinaries of chances to enter these vocational schools.
really.
i mean. GET A LIFE.
if you really want to enter this polytechnic, then sincerely submit your application.
if you're just out to try your luck,
do it,
AFTER receiving your o level results.
anyway,
good luck to those who did submit their applications before 16th July.
=))
F.Y.I
-the selection process takes place from 16th July till 7th August.
-Results will be sent out on 13th August.

oh yes.
and theres this composition test in the morning.
i chose the one word topic: Luck.
wrote a 'personal recount' (i used I, Myself, as the main character.)
and what did i write about?
i wrote about the game show: Deal or No Deal.
whats the big deal?
now heres the deal.
i was supposed to come up with something like,
being lucky enough to strike lottery.
or win the jackpot.
but then again.
my mind was clouded with Adrian Pang and the Deal or No deal phrase.
so i guess i wrote out of point.
LALALA.
i could fail this test.
so i conclude.
i can only pass 1 out of 5 tests taken today.
xD

honestly.
everything is in full swing.
im not sure whether i'm following the momentum.
because im still not getting the hang of it.
i will.
perhaps.
soon.
=)

Tuesday, 17 July 2007
i've had an eventful week when my cousin was away.
(she's still.)
anyway.
im quite glad i've made my way through.
hahas.
with ups and downs along the way.
i'm still all set for more to come.
=D

well.
just today specifically.
i had this sudden paranoia that threw me into frustration.
it lasted for quite long.
and i seem to have exhausted myself.
lalalas~

im gonna start spurring myself on.
i cannot stop now.
because i now i'll decay if i remain stale for too long.
xD

Saturday, 14 July 2007
i spent quite some time today,
listening to the song moon river.
its a classic hit.
and many singers have sung this song.
over and over again.
and over and over again,
i listened to it.
-
conclusion?
i give andrea ross the thumbs up for singing the song with style.
=)

i love this song a lot.
hahas.
since.
i don't know when.
i'll never get tired of it.
that i know.
and it keeps me going on when i'm low.

tatata.
lalala.

the amazing things that keep astonishing me.
hahas.
i need to grow up fast.
xD

thanks. amazing friend.

Friday, 13 July 2007
today's Friday, the 13th.
not a very special day.
but then.
its significant to someone, like me.
well.
everything went well i guess.
except something.
i actually predicted something.
or more like,
my mind had this foresight.
and i knew exactly what was going to happen.
it did!
its so cool.
way too cool.
xD

hmmm.
in the recent spate of events,
and under my meticulous investigation and observation.
i've finally found out that RETRIBUTION does exist.
what goes round, comes around.
=)
hit somebody? you'll get hit someday too.
hurt somebody? you'll get hurt just as badly, or maybe worse.
lols.
yupps.
apart from the retribution thing.
i've witnessed the world through the eyes of man.
Man.-> MALES AND FEMALES
(just in case you thought i was just discriminating the opposite sex)
really.
in fact.
i believe what i've witnessed, weighs up to only a small minute portion of what the real world is really like.
x:

its scary sometimes.
when you find out how close you avoided trouble.
now i feel great satisfaction,
seeing someone walking into the arms of the danger, i so carefully avoided.
personally,
i see no need in lending a hand.
and theres no reason why i should.
hahas,
besides.
what goes around, will come round.
=)

i've confirmed some things with myself.
about myself.
and i see a need to clarify with the world.
how I. work.

i'll be there, if you need help.
i seldom offer it, so you need to ask.
more imptly, i don't reject requests.
so long as its within my ability, i'll do my utmost best.

i might sound harsh, or maybe a little direct.
i apologise.
i just dont have that sense of humour in me at times.
but i mean no harm.

when i keep quiet, it means i'm thinking.
nothing much about it.
no emo stuff and things like that.
i seldom turn emo. btw.
if that happens, perhaps, something's really wrong.
and of course, i'll get help.

i'm not angry even when i raise my voice.
you'll know i'm angry.
when i'm really angry.

i dislike disputes;
and worthless comments,
a lot.
because both, are shallow, and lack any form of intelligence.

i care a lot.
about my friends.
my family.
my surroundings.
and my own feelings.
so don't even think about disturbing, or disrupting any of these.
i'll hack you.
and i mean it.

i seldom hate people.
just in case you're curious.
but if you want to be blacklisted in my life,
you may feel free to inform me of your full name, age and gender.
i'll avoid you for life.

i have my own hidden agendas.
obviously.
but honestly..
i hardly come up with any these days.

im not a difficult person to live with.
perhaps.
im just a little more difficult to understand.
but then again.
i hope the above self-help text does do good in making people know more about me.
especially, YOU.
....
thanks for the special 'request' for this self-help text.
hope it helps.
and for everyone out there.
i promise everything written here,
is true.
=D

right.
im all done here.
xD

Wednesday, 11 July 2007
oooooH!
i feel the OOMPH today!
i feel EXTREMELY TALL today!
and!!!
i feel ECSTATIC.
xDD
yoooo!!
don't ask why.
hahahahs.
i'll make you feel short if you do.
HAHAH.

im really anxious right now.
because in a few minutes, (or more like 7 min exactly.)
im going to start working on my application for the Direct Polytechnic Admission!
hahahas!!!!
=DDD

i've also rmbed to return home for the PSP charger.
i feel hopeless without it.
because the PSP just wont start up without electricity.
lols!

ok.
im gonna scoot off.
=D

Monday, 9 July 2007
LIVE EARTH received negative comments.
and....
and i kind of agree.
why?
because they are dumb enough to hold a 24 hour concert.
so what?
they are simply contradicting themselves.
i mean.
come on.
you're spreading the word-
to save the earth.
to save electricity.
stop global warming.
and you're wasting electricity on sound systems, air-conditioners, and lighting???
i think the amount of electricity used by all the concerts within that 24 hours is enough to let the globe survive for a few months and prevent a few more holes in the ozone layer.
moreover.
the songs the artistes sang,
had no connection ,
or what-so-ever,
to the main purpose of the concert.
HEY-
its LIVE EARTH.
SOS. FOR A CLIMATE IN CRISIS.
ANSWER THE CALL..
...
and they go on singing weird songs.
and dancing weird dances.
COMEON~
spread some energy mann!
so in the end.
i still feel,
that the 24 hour concert has not met its purpose.
it can be proven.
by the number of people wearing green on the 7th and 8th of july.
BOO-
love the earth man.
its a global issue.
everyone should be involved.
unless you're not part of the globe.
which might just mean-
you're a martian of some sort.
but anyway.
do your part-
SAVE THE EARTH.


right.
enough of my preaching.
lets get on.
x)


right.
a few matters.
and obviously.
as blog hoppers;
or perhaps my constant 'fan';
or maybe my avid reader;
or most probably- a passerby,
you wont get much out of the text you're going to approach below.
unless, of course,
you're someone who lives in my tummy,
or perhaps. some weird psychic who reads mind.
or maybe,
if you happen to be directly involved,
you might get an insight.
or perhaps.
just a sight.
ya.
something like that.

ok.
lets see.
#1
i need to make a confession.
and if you're interested.
lets see how interesting this's gonna get.
i'm not an outright person.
though i'm straight.
and sometimes a little blunt on purpose.
but yeah.
i finally found out.
im an introvert.
HAHA.
so cool!
x)))

#2
i know emotions and feelings are controlled by the brain.
but then again.
i always experience heart wrenches.
or at least.
recently.
and it comes very suddenly,
and lasts really long.
so it hurts quite a bit.
nope.
i do not happen to have a heart condition.
so i believe.
i must be hiding something hurtful from myself.
if not.
it wouldn't hurt so much.
correct?

#3 : to this someone
honestly.
you're a great person.
and.
i don't mind listening.
really.
i'm sorry i send out wrong signals.
most of the time.
and perhaps.
do some things you might not agree with.
i'll try my best.
and we'll be friends, for life.
promise.
=D

#4
ya.
i often do feel that life's unfair.
but then again.
why bother.
because i have a great friend.
a good friend.
an amazing friend.
a wonderful friend.
a happy friend.
a childish friend.
an a silly ahgong.
so with all these precious treasures by my side.
perhaps.
my unfair treatment is justified.
=D

#5
**tada***
a recommendation to make:
after a night of beer tasting with my aunt,
we've came up with a list of good tasting beer, and bad tasting beer.
though we only tasted a few.

-1 Carlsberg!
-2 Sapporo Beer
-3 Tiger
-4 Heineken

yupp.
thats all.
lols.
xD
quite a short list huh!

#6
the Sony PSP is finally in my hands!!!!
yooohooO!
i'm kinda glad!
and i'm excited to be sharing this news with everyone who reads this!
xDDD

#7
this.
is a little resolution.
The July to November Resolution.
I HEREBY RESOLVE TO STUDY REALLY HARD,
AND CONFORM TO ALL RULES AND DISCIPLINE REQUIRED,
WITH REGARDS TO SCORING WELL,
FOR THE UPCOMING GCE 'O' LEVEL EXAMINATIONS.
not exactly a LITTLE resolution.
but short. and simple.
xD

kae.
i kinda lost it.
all.
everything i used to have in my sane mind.
yupp-
sounds extreme?
it does happen to be that extreme.
well.
it all boils down to the fact that global warming is indeed taking place at a very fast rate.
im sweating like shit,
even after my bath.
so people.
support LIVE EARTH.
wear green tml and the day after tml!
do your part for this world.
show that you care!
be it your clothes, your underwear, you bag, your accessory etc.
make it green.
and of course.
APART FROM THE BIG HOO HA ABOUT TURNING GREEN TOMORROW-
do something good.
dont use plastic bags even if you buy groceries.
bring your own!
dont take a long bath,
take a short shower!
use a mug when brushing your teeth.
dont turn on the aircon.
or even if you do, keep it at 25 degrees celcius.

do your part-
save the earth.



ok.
time to post something more personal.
im having migraine right now.
and..
im going to trade my iPod Nano for a Sony PSP;
with my bro!!!!
hahahs.
finally made this difficult decision.
but then again.
i prefer playing, then simply listening to music..
so... BWAHAHAH.
here goes the BIG NEWS.
i think. i totally flunked. my chinese Oral.
i mean.
COME ON.
so what if only one quarter of singaporeans exercise!!!
i EXERCISE CAN!!!!
...
fine.
i admit.
i failed it horribly.
and i'll face my death sentence anytime soon.
......
but then again-
its just chinese.
lols
xDDD
im so glad i LOVE english.
ok -
thats how personal i'll get-
for the time being.

the band is embarking on new pieces already.
The Winter of 1730;
The Merry Widow;
ABBA Gold;
Music from the Pirates of the Caribbean;
etc..
i think its fun sight-reading new pieces on the spot,
and conquering them within a limited amount of time.
yet.
somehow.
i see no passion burning.
nothing is evoked when these pieces are played.
we just play.
for the sake of playing.
its fun, i admit.
but nothing is really accomplished , right?
and when a commitment is expected for the band fest. in Taiwan.
i think i really don't see a need to do it.
but if i can afford the time.
i guess i would.

hahas.
life's still getting on.
and i'm really glad im right on track again.
i've gained total control.
plus-
a new interest.
COFFEE.
anyone interested in taking on a double espresso?
xD

Sunday, 1 July 2007
say hello to the gst rise.
its now 7%.
a wonderful way of welcoming July in the year 2007.

anyway-
i made my way back home ytd.
and im still here.
had this long and funny game of monopoly with my sis,
while attempting to avoid any form of communication with my mum.
and my bro came home-
found him fatter in some way.
lols.

anyway.
i'm way out of my mind now.
because i've been coming up with all sorts of things with my brain.
wooh.
im crazy-
x))

am i okay?
of course i am!
just don't ask me how come.
i havent been able to give reasons for all the things i've been doing lately,
honestly.
